On Thursday, the domestic equity indices slipped over half a percent, extending the decline for the eighth consecutive week, its longest weekly losing streak since 2001. Dr. V K Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist, Geojit Investments Ltd, said, "After eight weeks of declines the market appears set for a rebound in the near-term. The better-than-expected results of Accenture and the appointment of Anup Bagchi as MD and CEO of HDFC Bank have the potential to lead a turnaround in the market.''
''Even though the headwinds coming from elevated crude prices, high US bond yields and sustained FII selling remain; the market is unlikely to be dragged down further since the valuations have tuned attractive, particularly for large-caps. There are strong tailwinds, too. The September auto sales numbers are good, indicating a structurally resilient economy. The RBI is most likely to raise rates by 25bp on 7th October. The market has already largely discounted this. Banks will benefit from the rate hike since rising floating rates will improve their margins,'' added Dr. V K Vijayakumar.

Stock Market Today Live Updates: Brent Crude Climbs 1% To Hit $103 After Yemeni Houthi Attacks Saudi Energy Facilities
Crude oil prices rose on Monday after Yemen's Iran-backed Houthis said they launched ballistic missiles and drones at Saudi Aramco sites in Riyadh and the Khurais area, raising concerns about production at the top exporter in the region. Brent crude futures, due for a December expiry, climbed 81 cents, or 0.79%, to $103.06 per barrel, while US West Texas Intermediate crude was at $91.57 a barrel, up 46 cents, or 0.50% in early trade on Oct. 5.
Yemen's Iran-aligned Houthi movement has claimed responsibility for a missile and drone attack on Saudi Arabia's energy infrastructure, saying it targeted an Aramco facility in Riyadh in retaliation for Saudi-backed military operations in Yemen. Houthi military spokesman Yahya Saree said the group launched long-range ballistic missiles and drones at the Saudi facility and described the operation as precise.
Stock Market Today Live Updates: Market Outlook
Gaurav Udani, Founder, Thincredblu Securities, on today's market outlook: "Nifty is expected to open around 22,535, up by nearly 115 points, indicating a strong gap-up start. After the recent weakness and the index closing around the important 22,500 zone, this recovery is encouraging, but sustaining the gains will be important.
The immediate support is around 22,450–22,500, while 22,750–22,850 will act as the first resistance zone. If Nifty sustains above 22,850, the recovery can extend towards 23,000. However, I would avoid chasing the opening move and instead look for buying opportunities on dips if the index holds the key support zone.
The broader trend remains cautious, and a sustained move above 23,050 would be required for a meaningful improvement in the near-term setup. Until then, volatility and sharp intraday reversals cannot be ruled out."
